i DEVICE FOR SECURING- BUTTONS OR THE LIKE TO FABRICS OR ANY OTHER KINDOF MATERIAL.

Application led November T0 all lwho/m. t may concern:

Be it known that I, VINZENZ SABADELLO,

a citizen of the Republic of Austria, residing at 34 Schulpromenade, St.Polten, Austria, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in aDevice for Securing Buttons or the like to Fabrics or Any Other Kind ofMaterial, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a device for securing buttons or the likewithout sewing to fabrics or any other kind of material and has for itsprinci-pal object to provide a device which may be easily and quicklyattached to any garment or the like.

An important object of the invention is to provide a device of thisnature which will eliminate the necessity of providing button holes inthe garment, or which can be readily attached thereto in case the buttonis pulled ofi' the garment.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as thedescription progresses, the invention resides in certain novel featuresof construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as willbe hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

One mode of carrying out the present invention is shown, by way ofexample, on an enlarged scale in the accompanying drawing.

Fig. l illustrates a sectional View of the device, the section beingtaken on line zr-) of Fig. 2, and

Fig. 2 shows the device in front View.

1 designates a U-shaped bracket provided with a slot 3 through which adouble armed lever 2 passes, the latter being pivotally secured to thebracket at l and the arms of the same being disposed at an obtuse angle.A button 6 is secured in any convenient manner to the end of the outerarm of the said lever, while the inner arm 2 of the latter projects intothe interior of the bracket and vis adapted to cooperate with the freeend of a U-shaped clamping spring t disposed within the bracket l. Thelatter is furnished with a recess 8 into which ext-ends and is secured aprojection 7 stamped out of the one arm of the spring 4. Projections 5facing one another are 5, 1923. serial No. 672,883.

stamped out of the metal of both arms of the clamping spring t.

In order to secure the device to a fabric or the like, the double armedlever 2, 2 and the spring t take up the .position shown in daslrdottedlines in Fig. l, and the device is pushed over the fabric in such amanner, that the latter rests between the arms of the clamping spring 4and now the outer arm of the lever 2 is swung upwardly so that the sametakes up a position within the slot 3 of the bracket l substantiallyparallel to the slotted arm of the said bracket, while the inner arm 2of the lever will force the free arm of the spring l inwardly and takeup the inclined position shown in Fig. l and the projections 5 willpartly penetrate into the fabric without damaging the same. Owing to thearrangement of the lever-arms at an obtuse angle and the resultinginclined position of the lever-arm 2 in the operative position of thelever, the latter cannot be moved into the inoperative position by theforce of the inwardly pressed arm of the spring 4, and thus the deviceis securely fastened to the fabric.

1. A device for securing` buttons or the like to fabrics or any otherkind of material comprising in combination, a bracket furnished with aslot at one of its arms, a clamping spring disposed within the saidbracket, a double armed lever the arms owf which are disposed at anobtuse angle pivoted to the said bracket in such a manner that in theoperative position of the lever' one of its arms rests within the saidslot and the other arm thereof projects into the iuterior of the bracketand takes up an inclined position with respect to the slotted arm of thesaid bracket and cooperates with and forces inwardly one arm. of thesaid clamping spring, and a button secured to the lever-arm firstmentioned.

2. A device for securing buttons or the like to fabrics or any otherkind of material comprising in combination, a bracket furnished with aslot at one of its arms and with a recess at the other arm thereof, aclamping spring disposed within the said bracket the said clampingspring being furerates with and forces inwardly one arm or' the saidclamping spring, and a button secured to the lever-arinirst mentioned.
